DARWVIN B. FISK, OF KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN.

TH RASHING-MACHINE ELEVATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 326,964, datedSeptember 29,1885.

Application filed April 29, 1884. Renewed August 10,1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DARWIN B. FIsK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Kalamazoo, in the county of Kalamazoo and State of Michigan,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Thrashing-MachineElevators; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,,clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters orfigures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of side view of elevatorand sectional views of grain-box and lower end of elevator, taken ondotted lines 1 1, Fig. 2, and 2 2, Fig. 3. Fig. 2 is a top view ofelevator and grainboX. Fig. 3 is an end view of lower end of elevator.

My invention relates to thrashing-machine elevators for conveying grainfrom a separator to a wagon or other suitable receptacle.

B, Fig. 1, represents a side view of elevator. represents the usual wayof conveying grain from separator D. f is an auxiliary spout, and underit, suspended by means ofside bars, 0 o, bail e, swivel-bolt s, andbraces a a, attached to separator by means of eyebolts g supported bychain 7, the receiving end of elevator B, as shown at P, Fig. 1.

The manner of operating elevator is shown in Fig. 1. The belt 0 c isdriven by the pulley m, which is attached to the separator, the beltpassing between rollers 25 t and under rollers r 7", which are supportedby the side bars, o o, thence to the pulley a at the top of elevator,which operates the buckets conveying the grain. The rollers it allow ahorizontal adjustment of elevator without materially affecting length ofbelt 0 c, and the rollers r r allow a vertical adjustment of elevatorwithout materially affecting length of belt 0 0.

The elevator is pivotally and detachably connected to separator, pivotedso as to move horizontally by means of bail c, swivel-bolt s, braces aa, and auxiliary spout f, which serves to steady receiving end ofelevator;

also a pivotal bearing for the same, and is pivoted so as to movevertically by means of side bars, on, and rod 2, and is adjusted to anyheight needed by means of rope u, attached to elevator B near thedischarging end, and to Windlass I), attached to the separator D.

The discharging-spout A, at top of ele' vator, is provided with anadjustable partition, (shown at c, Fig. 2,) and is operated by handle h,for the purpose offilling either compartment of grain-box R R, which isprovided with spouts L L for filling wagon-box or other suitablereceptacle, and is supported by tresties T T. The grain-box R R ishinged at corners, and has-a portable bottom, so that it may be foldedfor convenience of transportation.

The elevator may be attached to either side of the separator orthrashing-machine.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of the side bars, 2; o. pivotally attached toelevator B, provided with vertical rollerst t and horizontal rollers r rfor guiding belt 0 c, the bail e, and swiveled bolt 3, pivotallysuspending elevator to braces a a, attached to separator, as describedand shown.

2. The combination of the auxiliary spout f with the elevator B, theside bars, 2; o, bail e, and swiveled bolt .9, for the purpose ofholding the lower end of elevator steady when operated vertically orhorizontally, as described and shown.

3. In combination with elevator B, side bars, 1) 'v, bail e, swiveledbolt 8, the spout A at the discharging end of elevator, provided with anadjustable partition, 0', for the purpose of directing the flow of grainto either compartment of grain-box B B, as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

DART/VIN B. FISK.
